During the Christian Easter week some were yelling that Jews killed Christ. But there was no problem. Nobody harmed us. They couldn’t recognize us. We, the younger ones, were talking Greek in order to be able to go out at this age. We could not hide or talk French or Judeo-Spanish.
The problems we had were our own fault. Many spoke Judeo-Spanish only and not Greek and that was wrong.
There was no anti-Semitism. Only very few were anti-Semites, the 3E [5], which, although I was young, I remember. They set a whole Jewish neighborhood on fire [6]. They were Venizelo’s organization and very much against Jews.
